Android Pie has been released for several devices from many manufacturers, either in stable or beta status and I'm sure most of Samsung’s Smartphone owners will be looking forward to getting the official taste of the Android Pie, despite the fact that Samsung has a poor track record in terms of speedy software updates.

With Android 9 Pie, Samsung has not disappointed. As 2019 is just 5 days away, Samsung has now detailed their official One UI (Android 9 Pie) update road-map which includes devices like the Galaxy S8, Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S9, Galaxy Note 9, and many others.

In January 2019, the first set of Samsung smartphones will get Android Pie. But when they do, beyond the improvements that come with Android 9, Samsung eligible phones will also get the new custom skin that replaces Experience UI. One UI, as the new skin is called, brings a whole new visual and interactive experience to Samsung phones.
